Investigation and analysis of forestry journals indexed by SCI

In order to have a better understanding of current situation of forestry journals indexed by SCI and use their advanced experience in their journal publishing for reference,we investigated 47 SCI forestry journals,concerning such respects of basic information,journal evaluating factors,publication lags,constitution of editorial board,distribution of authors,and digital publishing.Targeting the low competitive power of forestry journals in China,we propose that Chinese forestry journals should have a clear orienting,define clearly responsibilities of editorial board members,seek cooperation with influential publishing agencies,and update publishing ideas.
